Inform Business Impact

Today is another first for us. We are proud to announce our intention to acquire Inform Business Impact. The company is a global leader in business analytics and workforce planning, and it is a pure play Cloud company and has world-class consulting capabilities, kind of like the McKinsey of this industry. As you know, we are aggressively building out our BizX road map. We have a three-pronged approach, internal development, partnerships and M&A. there is a lot of business intelligence software, but it is all based on the code general ledger and accounting. That is not going to work for our customers. SuccessFactors needed to drive workforce information to drive business decision. Our customers need technology that’s built based on the general ledger, sales and workforce information. With Inform, we can do all three.
